Hi,

The word 'just' suggests 'only with difficulty' here because the window is very small.

Teacher Alan, good evening.
The use of "only just" is unclear for me, would you please be as kind to explain further?

To me it looks like an "overlapping idea".
I think of these two word as synonyms, please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks a lot and good night.
God bless.
Cisco.
